So recently, I got a second Saturn, to play PAL optimized games such as Guardian Heroes and Panzer Dragoon, and within 2 days of getting the unit, the AV port has broken I presume. Basically, it was playing fine, then the colours were playing up, so I decided to push in the connected cable in the port to see if it would improve the colour accuracy, and then BAM, no picture. To see if it was just a faulty scart lead, I tried my Japanese console scart lead and it worked before, but now it doesn't. The console turns on, but since the AV port doesn't work, it only comes up with a black screen with no sound.
Does anyone know a place where they could fix the AV port so it plays properly again?
TL;DR: My new console's AV port has broken, ;_;
NEED HALP!

Just in case you were the victim of bad advice, PAL optimised titles do NOT play better than their NTSC counterparts.
Ray can probably take a look at the AV port for you once he is back off his holidays. Drop me a PM and I'll fill you in with the details.

I know that, I just prefer to have consistency, plus, look at the american boxart for GH... nasty.
I'll do that at some point.

Would anyone be willing to fix the AV port once they are free?

Like I said, I have two consoles, a Japanese model 1 with the 1.01 firmware, and a UK PAL Black unit. I tested my scart on both, and while it worked on the UK unit for two days, it no longer comes up with anything, yet when I put it in the Japanese unit, it plays fine. I’m pretty certain the AV port needs fixing.

One came with the PAL system, and I tried my Japanese scart cable and it worked fine on the PAL unit. Eseentially, the colors were playing up, so I decided to push in the wire so I can see if it would help improving the color and... it just broke. They aren't bent for sure, they do come up with video, its just all black with no sound. Okay, I'll take a pic of the port so you can check. I hope somebody from the forum would be willing to fix the console, as I've had no luck.  |
